    Part number 171631.

    Top of passenger radiator. Guess I'll drain and remove. Best way to compare and replace.
    @ernie, agreed. Its a hose! Thanks.

    You buy that stuff from Gates, in 3 ft sections. Cut to size.

    How long until it is due for a big service? Reason I ask is when one leaks many are not far behind it and if you don't want to be chasing leaks you should consider replacing them all. Because of how these are plumbed there are quite a few small hoses and many difficult to get to. It is easier with the engine out.

    Good news is except for the 3 formed hoses all the others are not expensive....just fun to replace.

    Do not be surprised if you need new radiator drain plugs. They expand and can stick in the radiator and get brittle so can break off. Not hard to deal with.

    I have lost several layers of skin replacing those 4 inch long hoses. I swear to God I always replace them at engine out now.
